Battle Cold, Flu Naturally.

October brings in the chill as well as infection! Optimize your immune system by adhering to the following:

Supplemental Nutrients (ask us which combination is optimum for you):

• Andrographis NEW! - great to have on hand when you feel something coming on; has demonstrated significant activity in fighting common cold, flu, and upper respiratory infections.
  
• Zinc Sulfate (liquid) - zinc has always been an immune-boosting stalwart; topical fights sore throats at the source.
  
• Cod Liver Oil - most bioavailable vitamin D source; while integrally linked to every aspect of immune system activity, it is widely known that vitamin D stores drop in the fall and winter due to little sun exposure.
  
• Vitamin C with Quercetin - vitamin C has long been known for its immune-boosting capabilities; finding a low acid (such as Ester-C) and corn-free (sago palm) source is ideal; combining it with Quercetin, a bioflavanoid which has antiinflammatory properties and has recently been found to reduce respiratory infections, makes them a potent one-two punch.
  
• Monolaurin - a component of human breast milk that provides immunity for newborns is also found in the ester of coconut; suggested use daily as an antiviral preventative.
  
• Nutribiotic (Grapefruit Seed Extract) all NEW vegicap available! - a bioflavanoid that has potent antimicrobial and antifungal properties; suggested daily as a bacterial preventative.
  
• Probiotics - it is well-known that harmonious gut flora balance is the key to a healthy immune system.

Proper sleep - your body needs down time in order to be able to fight the rigors of the modern daily lifestyle.

Limit refined sugar and excess carbohydrate consumption - sugar depresses the immune system.

Manage stress - stress depresses the immune system.

Proper Hygiene - refrain from touching your eyes, nostrils, ear canals, and mouth with unwashed hands; this allows pathogens to bypass the strongest immune deterrent: dermal tissue.

Infrared Sauna Therapy - great way to detox deep from within the dermal tissue.

Exercise - one of the best immune-boosters; however, this takes dedication because it always gets harder to exercise when it gets cold!

Do not take an antibiotic unless it is cultured and confirmed to be a BACTERIAL infection. Antibiotics do not work for viral or fungal infections!
